Don’t knock Nock Co. handmade pen and notebook cases

The Kickstarter project for Nock Co. pen and notebook cases has 10 days left to go and is already 1000% over their initial goal of $5000. Who knew that handmade (in Georgia, USA) pen cases could be so popular? Nock Co. which is comprised of Brad Dowdy (aka the Pen Addict) and Jeffrey Bruckwicki are offering a selection of cases that will hold pens, small notebooks like Field Notes, and cases that hold both pens and notebooks. The cases are made of 1000D nylon and feature a simple and effective design that really appeals to me. Something else really appeals to me as well, and it’s what you get for your pledge money. Pledges start at $15, which reserves two of the zippered pen cases like you see in the image on the left. A $75 pledge will reserve all seven cases, which is a great value.

I saw these a while back. I still haven’t become a backer, but I’m getting close. Can’t decide which one(s) I want! I like the idea of their roll-out “Brasstown” design—a compact case that keeps your writing implements from banging into each other. They have a few other nice-looking designs that I like, too.

The Cargo Works MacBook 13" EDC Kit is a black canvas zippered gear bag that has been designed to hold the 13" MacBook or similarly sized notebooks and associated gear. Stay tuned for my full review which is coming soon.
